v.1
"The problem is all inside your head", she said to me
"The answer is easy if you take it logically"
"I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free"
"There must be fifty ways to leave your lover"

v.2
She said "It's really not my habit to intrude"
"Furthermore I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued"
"But I'll repeat myself, at the risk of being rude"
"There must be fifty ways to leave your lover" [2t]

Chorus: [2t]
Just slip out the back, Jack, make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy, just [get yourself free] [listen to me]
Just hop on the bus, Gus, you don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee, and get your self free

v.3
She said "It grieves me so to see you in such pain"
"I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again"
I said "I appreciate that, and would you please explain"
"About the fifty ways..."

v.4
She said "Why don't we both just sleep on it tonight"
"And I believe in the morning you'll begin to see the light"
And then she kissed me and I relized, she probably was right
There must fifty ways to leave your lover
